Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.

Comfort
Guests find the property comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and considered decor. The only minor issue raised is the width of the double beds, which some guests found narrower than usual.

About this property
Kilmelford 2.1 miles. Perched on the coast in Melfort near Kilmelford, Argyll & The Isles is this marvellous, end-terrace holiday home of Pier North. Perfect for a family wanting to escape the clutches of busy, everyday life, Pier North is a wonderful retreat, enjoying access to the beautiful Loch Melfort and the quaintness of the Argyll countryside. Upon entering the dwelling, be welcomed by three ground-floor bedrooms, with one consisting of a well-presented double and its en-suite bathroom, another being a double and, lastly, a single with a pull-out bed. The bedrooms share access to a shower room, where you can wash off those sandy toes after a day packed with fun at Fearnach Bay. Venture upstairs where a beautifully-decorated open-plan living space awaits, with a woodburning stove giving the room a welcoming glow. The sitting area is where you can go to unwind after a day of walking or cycling, along with the private balcony, which provides views of the idyllic water and surroundings. The kitchen is where the chef of the group can find all they need to make mouthwatering meals for all the family to savour. Why not make use of North Pier's private mooring and take your boat out for a spin on Loch Melfort, before docking at Kilmelford, where you can purchase any essentials at the Kilmelford Stores or stop for a tasty treat at The Cuilfail's bistro. For activities to partake in nearby, venture to Arduaine Garden to enjoy a peaceful stroll through the stunning mix of coastal and country scenery, or continue to Craobh Haven, with its Marina and watersports opportunities. Travel a little further to Oban, a town that backs onto a golf club and its surrounding woodland, whilst hosting a waterfront with a range of attractions, including the Oban War & Peace Museum, access to the McCaig's Tower and Battery Hill, the renowned Oban Distillery and the Oban Chocolate Company. Take your stay further and board a ferry from Oban's port to discover more of the beautiful Isles, including Barra and the Isle of Mull. For a memorable time away with your loved ones, book a stay at North Pier. EPC Rating: Band D
